2 year(s)

Buy this make again?

Yes

Price and equipment7.0/10

Dealers do neg, so don't pay RRP. Safety equipment a long list, standard features is great. Vision packages is only option you need. Don't get sucked into stacking up the options or it can get expensive

Under the bonnet8.0/10

How it drives8.0/10

Comfort and practicality7.0/10

Plenty of room in boot for the kids stuff, more than luxury SUVs like X3 or Q5. Driving position is great. Well round alt. to a SUV.

Servicing and running costs8.0/10

Same as a car. I was put of on the cost of owning a SUV tyres, brakes and servicing are all jaw dropping experiences. The wagon is a great compromise for the family as I get to carry everything while not paying the running costs

Aesthetics and styling10.0/10

Merc has hit the spot with this one. W204 shape looks fantastic, both sedan and wagons

Safety and security7.0/10

9 airbags. Solid build and quality

Quality and reliability8.0/10

Nice heavy door. Feels well built. Panel gaps are consistent. No issues with the car so far

Overall verdict10.0/10

W204 C200 wagon is a great looking car. Luxury, power, space to carry the kids stuff and running costs comparable to a car makes it a great all rounder. SUV's are all the fad at the moment but after owning one and paying huge costs to keep it running I'm no longer interested in them. Looking forward to buying future models.
